Explore cities in details! Our urban games and research lab has developed this game as a key to cultural heritage and stories of the neighbourhoods. The very first version of it was devoted to the wooden Šnipiškės neighbourhood (Vilnius). You will find unique urban contrasts, textures and traditional lifestyles in this historical area. Saluts and loads of thanks to Beatričė Elena Umbrasaitė, who created this video! We take it to B-city Biennale of Urbanism and Architecture in Shenzhen / Hong-Kong. Now we know how Laimikis.lt sounds in Chinese Mandarin language: 莱米基斯. lt :) The topic of this year is Urban Villages, and vulnurable Šnipiškės fits this topic perfectly.
